Lecture 5 - Valuation Flashcards
DCF Valuation
firm value = cash0 + (FCF1)/(1+WACC) + (FCF2)/(1+WACC)….
cash included in DCF
EXCESS CASH
only include cash not needed for day-to-day operations; cash that is free to be paid out
DCF valuation steps
- find EXCESS cash today (cash0)
- find PV of FCF estimates over non-constant growth period
- find PV of horizon/TV of FCF in constant growth period
non-constant growth period
diff growth rates during period
ends only when we can assume growth is stable
constant growth period
value of firm in this period = TV
beginning in year N+1, we assume expected FCF will grow at constant rate g
TVn
PV of all future FCFs in constant growth period discounted back to year N
TVn =
(FCFn+1) / (WACC-g)
firm value
PV of all future cash flows and today’s cash
Equity value (MV) =
Firm value - debt
what price should you be willing to pay at time 0 for stock? =
P0 = equity value / # of shares
mid-year discounting
FCF discounted as mid year cash flows
firm value w/ mid-year discounting =
cash0 + (1 + r)^1/2 * (PV FCF & TV)
TV using book values =
= book value of assets
= LT assets + NWC
TV using book values
a reasonable lower bound for a firm future value = future book value of assets
why is TV using book values a lower bound?
bc we expect market values to rise above book values
TV using multiples
find firm with similar business risk, growth prospects, and leverage
use its market multiple to predict TV of firm
